What it is

An online store selling cricket equipment and clothing, run from home. You can hold stock yourself or have some items shipped straight from suppliers. You focus on gear that is hard to find locally.

Your first three steps

  1. Contact cricket equipment suppliers and wholesalers to compare prices, minimum orders and shipping to the US
  2. Set up a simple online store, register as an LLC or sole proprietor, and get an EIN
  3. Reach out to local leagues and clubs, and post in cricket groups, to offer a starter range and team discounts
Who pays

Club players, parents of junior players, league organizers and clubs that need kit for a season.

How it makes money

You earn the gap between wholesale and retail prices on each item. Club and team orders bring larger sales, and you can add custom team clothing or bundles such as starter kits.
